Hey Guys, Here's a few nice coins I recently got back from a batch sent to NCS/NGC. The 83 and 84 Brass Pandas were bought off an ad online 2 or 3 months back for $14.00 (Double Sealed) for the pair yes fourteen US$$$DOLLARS!!. I was skeptical at first but for $14 I took my chances, I still can't believe how little value the original owner had for them. Worked out great for me, for now I would consider them the rarest in my collection as far as PFUC69 availability on the bay goes. And the 1999 5Y LD Serif 1 I bought back in January for a couple hundred on eBay off a bad photo and coin already out of OMP, I haven't seen one sold individually in over two months. Over all my coins came back great all 69's including 1987 PFUC 1&5oz silver, 1999 silver Beijing Expo and some other goodies in fact the lowest grade was the 1999 5Y Serif ms68. Now I just need to figure out how to get the rest of my coins graded without selling, I guess I can't quite my day job yet.

A few highlights of my latest batch of raw coins sent to NCS/NGC. Turnaround time was about a month. The coins should be arriving any day now. Interestingly, I sent a batch of mostly older coins directly to NGC at the same time (6/24) (bypassing NCS). That batch is still "scheduled for grading."

My lastest aquisition from Xu Hong and I would love to see a COA if anyone can post one or email it to boybluejay@aol.com
